The 50-day moving average often serves as a key consolidation level for the Nikkei 225. Historically, after significant up or down movements, the index tends to consolidate around this average before resuming its trend. A notable example occurred between mid-July and mid-November 2023. Following a rise from 26,000 to 34,000 points from mid-March to midJune 2023, the index consolidated around the 50-day moving average for 5.5 months before breaking out and continuing its uptrend.
Current Market Performance
Currently, since early April, the Nikkei 225 has been oscillating along the 50-day moving average. The suggested resistance level is at 39,460 points. A break above this level could indicate a resumption of the uptrend. Conversely, if the index falls below 36,700 points, it would be prudent to exit positions as this level serves as a cut-loss point. Monitoring these levels can help in making informed trading decisions.
